Protect children's health coverage

CHIP covers over 8 million children in working families. It is critical for early childhood well-being and development. With continued coverage, working families will be healthier and more self-sufficient. Let’s protect what works!

Fight for Charities

Charities are at risk of losing up to $13.1 billion less in giving each year. This will damage the very fabric of the charitable sector and our communities. Congress should support American values of giving by expanding charitable giving tax benefits – not reducing them. Join us in fighting for charities by expanding the charitable giving tax benefits to all Americans.

Stand Up for Working Americans

Americans who work full time should be able to make ends meet and support their families. The Earned Income Tax Credit is a common sense tax break that helps workers, who struggle to get by, to pay for the basics – like transportation to get to work and childcare. The EITC should be expanded so that workers who can’t claim children on their taxes can put food on the table, cover rent and have a shot at a brighter future. Join us.
